Substack Training With Julie Marvel

Build More Than a Following. Build a Community You Can Reach.

Substack is much more than an email newsletter. It can become your website, email list, content library, podcast home, community gathering place, and a powerful way to create opportunities around the work you care about.

Whether you are a writer, podcaster, coach, consultant, creator, or business owner, Julie will help you understand what Substack can do—and how to begin using it with clarity and purpose.

Not Just Another Social Platform

What Can Substack Actually Do?

Social media helps people notice you. Substack helps people stay connected to you.

Unlike a social post that can quickly disappear from view, your Substack articles, podcasts, videos, and resources become part of an organized, evergreen body of work. New readers can discover what you created weeks, months, or even years ago.

  • Build an Email List

    Turn readers into subscribers you can communicate with directly.

  • Publish Long-Form Content

    Create thoughtful articles and build an evergreen library around your expertise.

  • Create a Publication Website

    Give your work an organized online home centered on one clear topic.

  • Grow Through Recommendations

    Reach new readers through recommendations, referrals, and collaborations with other creators.

  • Host Substack Live

    Bring guests into live conversations and connect with your audience in real time.

  • Create Shareable Clips

    Receive recordings and generated clips that can be shared on Substack and other platforms.

  • Publish a Podcast

    Host audio or video episodes and distribute your podcast to platforms such as Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Offer Paid Subscriptions

    Create paid content, member benefits, and recurring revenue around your work.

  • Build Genuine Community

    Use comments, Chat, direct messages, Notes, and live conversations to create real relationships.

“You do not need to become a full-time reel maker to build an audience.”

Substack gives you several ways to communicate—writing, audio, video, Notes, podcasts, and live conversations. You can choose the formats that fit your strengths while building authority around one clear subject.

Your publication becomes a destination, not a miscellaneous stream of updates, lunch photographs, dog pictures, and whatever else happened that Tuesday.
